Services represent the majority of today’s economy, not only in developed countries but also developing countries throughout the world. In most countries, the service sector of the economy is very diverse, comprising a wide array of different industries that sell to individual customers and business customers as well as to government agencies and nonprofit organizations (Lovelock and Wright, 2002). Service industries also account for most of the growth in new jobs (Brayner, 1997). In Malaysia, the tourism industry has been identified as the key driver in the growth of the service sector (Economic Planning Unit, Prime Minister’s Department, Malaysia, http;//www.epu.jpm.my). However, the growth of the service industry and the tourism industry in Malaysia as a whole is being embittered by the high turnover rate in the hotel industry, which plays a major role in the service, as well as the tourism industry.
